Topic of Choice

After researching over the weekend, I have come to the conclusion of studying freshmen dorm life. I reside in the dorms, and have often wondered if the influence of dorm life your freshmen year changes how you go about your everyday life. I want to know if the encounters you make in the dorms enhance your learning or simply distract you from your studies. It is also interesting to discover if your views of various things change with the impact of others around you. I hope to interview those who live within the dorms and a few who either commute or live in an apartment to see the effects of the different learning situations. I think this topic will hold my interest for the semester since I am included within this subculture. There were a few other subcultures I was considering, such as music (band or choir) or facebook users. These topics may be harder for me to actually interact with the respondents though. I feel that the topic of freshmen dorm life will be the best fit.
